The location is great. We had booked 4 nights with 5 guys. The appartement building is like 200 meters from the hostel, please keep this in mind during the booking. In the hostel there is a bar. The bar was opened every day, but we had to ask a lot if someone could help us.

Hello Sander
It never ceases to amaze me at how unappreciative some visitors are. You were upgraded to an apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom at our new backpacker 200m away at the same price as our standard dorm. You were happy with this at the time and were told that it was 200m from Amakaya.
The bar hours are from 6pm only and the hours are visible in the bar and reception. Our staff will however get drinks for guests during the day if they require.
Regards

Good location (although its a bit of a walk to the beach, mainly uphill on the way back). Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast.
